Answer:

15 m and 53 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangular field = x m

and width = y m

From the statement "Length is 7m less than 4 times the width"

x = 4y - 7 ----------(1)

"perimeter of the field is 136 m."

2 (x + y) = 136

x + y = 68 ---------(2)

Now we replace the value of x from equation 1 to 2

4y - 7 + y = 68

5y - 7 = 68

5y = 68 + 7 = 75

y = 15 m

From equation (2)

x + 15 = 68

x = 68 - 15

= 53 m

Therefore, length and width of the field are 15 m and 53 m.

P = 2(L + W)
P = 136
L = 4W - 7

136 = 2(4W - 7 + W)
136 = 2(5W - 7)
136 = 10W - 14
136 + 14 = 10W
150 = 10W
150/10 = W
15 = W <=== width is 15 m

L = 4W - 7
L = 4(15) - 7
L = 60 - 7
L = 53 <== length is 53 m

The figure shown is a rectangle. The green shape in the figure is a square. The blue and white shapes are rectangles, and the ar

VikaD [51]

Answer:

A. (2 × 6) + (3 × 8) + 6²

72 sq. inches.

B. 9 in. by 8 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

The white shape has dimensions of 2 in. by 6 in. and the green shape is a square.

So, the dimension of the green shape is 6 in. by 6 in.

Therefore, the length of the blue shape is (6 + 2) = 8 in.

Now, given that the area of the blue shape is 24 sq. in.

So, the width of the blue shape is $\frac{24}{8} = 3$ in.

Now, if we consider the total figure, then area of the entire figure = area of the white shape + area of the green shape + area of the blue shape.

= (2 × 6) + (3 × 8) + 6² (Answer)

= 12 + 24 + 36

= 72 sq, inches. (Answer)

Now, the length of the entire figure is (6 + 3) = 9 in. and width of the entire figure is (2 + 6) = 8 in.

Therefore, the dimensions of the entire figure will be 9 in. by 8 in. (Answer)

If the bottom side is 20 cm, then each line BE and CE would each be 10 cm.

Now, just focus on the top left triangle. You have one side with 20 cm, and the other side with 10 cm. You are left with the hypotenuse, which you need to figure out the value of.

Since this is a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem -> a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where c is the hypotenuse.

20^2 + 10^2 = c^2
400 + 100 = c^2
500 = c^2
22.36 = c
